Ps3 wont play

it is most lickly a ps2 then because ps3 cant play ps2 or dvds

sounds like a dead Laser they are a dual laser will read DVDs n CDs but wont read Blueray movies or PS3 games

hold the power button down when it is red till you hear the quick beeps then select the file restore this is a diagnostics menu..remember you have to hold the power button down till you see a menu that youve probably never seen

laser is geting week, replace system or send in for repair

call sony.ps3 dvd drives are going out..check for warrenty as this is a huge hardware failure. plz call them and demand a repair or refund!

the only version of the ps3 that can play ps2 games and dvds is the one shipped from manufacter with 80gb hard drive

r ur ps2 cd's original or copies coz the ps3 doesn't play copies
abd check ur dvd if it's PAL or NTSC and then check ur ps3 for the same thing
if the ps3 is PAL it only plays PAL dvd's and vice versa

40 gig that i understand cant ply ps2 games only 60-80 can.

The pal ps2 games and dvds will not play on a Japanese ps3 due to region coding. You can play all ps3 games and blu ray films because they do not use region coding. Some games will also play differently on a ps3, for example, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (I highly recommend the game) will not have any blood on a Japanese ps3. The region coding feature can not be changed/modified. I would recommend returning Japanese ps3 and purchasing a European model instead if that is possible. Bon chance.

ps2 discs are region locked ps3 games are not so are some dvds the are region locked if you seriously want to play the ps2 games buy them from japan
